AN ICE train of German Railways travelling between Frankfurt-am-Main and Paris hit a dust cart near Lamprecht in the Pfalz on Tuesday.
The high speed train had 300 passengers on board. 15 passengers were injured, some seriously. One coach was derailed.
That a high speed train could be in such a collision with only one coach derailing and no fatalities is a great statement of the safety of modern railway design.
The section of track is closed and Frankfurt Paris traffic has been diverted over Strassburg.
